DRUG BUST IN COWES

A boat crash in Cowes in the early hours of a Sunday morning, resulting into the men being arrested in suspicion of drug offences. The men were aboard a twenty foot boat when it collided at high speed, at 3 O’clock Sunday morning. Three of the four men made it ashore, with one male being escorted to a mainland hospital for chest injuries. The fourth male was found onshore later that day.
Police said a 39-year-old man from Waterlooville, held on suspicion of possession and supply of a Class B drug, had been bailed. A 34-year-old man, from Southsea, and a 39-year-old man, from Petersfield, have been released with no further action.

REVENGE PORN

Facebook is taking new action in hope to prevent Revenge Porn from spreading across other social media platforms. The social media site has teamed up with others such as Instagram and Messenger in order to provide a wider security base. Facebook will provide a flagging tool which can be used on content you think is inappropriate. Facebook will then check out the post further and decide whether or not it is appropriate. The idea was to help people, youth especially, to avoid this happening to them. A great step forward in help to banish Revenge Porn.

COWES PLAN FOR SHOPPING CENTRE BUILD

A mini Gunhwarf is to hit the streets of Cowes. The multi-million project is said to be located between the terminal and Cowes Yatch Haven. The Red Jet Terminal will also be updated within the plan, in order to give Cowes a new, furnished look. The build can attract tourists, as well as benefiting you locals. The idea awaits the green light by the planning bosses.

BID TO BUY RYDE ICE RINK BY COMMUNITY

The action group is made up of young skaters and representatives from across the political spectrum. With the Ice Rink said to be the worst it has ever been, the action group is determined to see it re open for their community.
